Add on to Transfer Day

ADD ON TO TRANSFER DAY

Transfers were good
yesterday. I was able to see some of my MTC friends which was awesome! I was
able to see Sister Lewis. She is
in Whales; It is a 4 and a half hour drive there. It was really fun to
go to transfers it was awesome. It was President and Sister Ogden, last one, or
maybe one more left. So it is really sad. I will miss them soooo much!!
I love the scripture that President Ogden reads this scripture every
transfer its in Doctrine and Covenants. I can’t remember which section it is,
but it talks about being on a mission. When you are in the service of
God, your family will be blessed. That always gives me the boost to stay
focused and work hard.

Sister Matapo is really cool. She grew up in the
Preston Area, in England. She is from Zimbabwe. She is 2 wks away from
her year mark. So she is going home in December-ish. She is a hard
worker!! I love it. We went and taught a lesson today. It went pretty
well. I was our first one. It was with P. It went well I think. I know if I keep doing
my best, I will keep improving. I need to stop comparing myself to other
missionaries. Ha-ha it’s really hard for me to not do. But I have to keep
telling myself that they have been out on their mission longer than me.
Hopefully I will be as good as they are when I am out a year or more.

It was really cool today I was reading the Book of
Mormon. I was in 2 Nephi 27 where it compares it to Isaiah 29 in the
Bible. It was really cool to see how in the Bible it talks about the
Book of Mormon. And about Joseph Smith. That he is an un educated man,
to be able to translate the book. It was really cool to keep reading and
remember that some of the book is still sealed. That Heavenly Father
will let us know when He wants to reveal it...in his time. So that was
cool.
